hmm update on my status

AFRs right after tuning were stable around mid to high 11's in boost

however recently my AFR's are going into the mid to high 12's (waay to lean..) under boost in all gears. im not sure what caused this to happen. any ideas?

idle is fine, car sounds normal, out of boost car drives fine and there is no power loss or anything out of the ordinary.
only thing i can think of that seems out of ordinary is that there is a high pitched sound that is only audible if you go towards the front bottom of the car (right near the intercooler). the sound is very very high pitched and only audible if your head is tilted the right way and you are in the right spot, not sure what it is or where it is coming from or if its even related the the lean AFRs i am now seeing.
